The USPSTF recommends that all women get mammograms at age 40. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) now recommends that all women and transgender men at average risk for breast cancer, regardless of race or ethnicity, should get biennial mammograms starting at age 40, instead of the previously recommended age of 50. The change is in response to escalating rates of breast cancer in women 40 to 49 years of age over the last decade. In 2022, over 43,000 women in the United States died of breast cancer. Starting routine mammograms earlier is especially critical in Black women, who are at greater risk for being diagnosed past stage I and 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than White women. In their recommendation statement, the USPSTF also makes an urgent call for research to determine the best screening protocols for women with dense breasts and those older than 74 years.
